Helpless and trapped in the deadly Mirror House, Batman must fight for his life against one of Gotham City's oldest and most powerful evils. Even when he does a jump to save himself from a dangerous situation, he does it in his own style, due his acrobacy background, which is different of how Bruce would do it.

And this novel is the perfect tribute to many years of great (and not so fabulous) Batman storylines. Tim Drake and Lucius Fox create a mask that allows Dick to sneak in by giving him a mask that lets him impersonate William Rhodes. It is the literary merit of reflection upon the world in a format that appeals to those readers by providing them the ideas of other greats through a different mode. Having just read "American Vampire" I wasn't sure Scott Snyder had the writing chops to create a Batman series this good, but he proves in "The Black Mirror" that he is easily as talented as the more experienced Batman scribes out there and can create a menacing, taut storyline to boot.Snyder and the artists do a good job of setting a subtly sinister and shadowed tone in this book, starting out with a sense of dread that seeps into the corners of the pages but does not confront us under direct gaze. However, does it mean in the New 52, Barbara is the adopted daughter of Commissioner Gordon and his second wife Sarah? The entirety of his TEC run is collected in the relatively fat trade paperback Batman: The Black Mirror.

Die Stories sind wunderbar noir mit den bekannten stilistischen Mittel, vielen Monologen, Femmes Fatales,langen konteplativen Pausen zwischendurch, wer das Genre mag im Zusammenhang mit Batman und die Superheroics weg lasen kann,wird feinste Unterhaltung bekommen. Scott Snyder and Jock take the reader on a dark journey, following Dick Grayson as he tries to fill Bruce Wayne's shoes. He's captured and held above the killer whale tank, eventually managing to break free but not before Tiger Shark escapes. His issues follow him in his investigations and findings pertaining to Gotham's usual scum and criminal element yet more often than not he gets caught up in a cycle of deception and greed that forces him to re-examine the way he views Gotham and his role and participation in all of its endless stream of violence and despair. Batman bursts through the window to rescue Barbara and reveals that he injected a tracer into James during their first meeting earlier.Writing about Dick Grayson as Batman isn’t easy, it’s not like just doing it as if Bruce was still in the suit. In short, on a subconscious level, they are disenfranchising a group of individuals for their reading choices. reminisce the old days, with Dick mentioning a boy named Ben Wolff was with them, but soon has to leave because of a notification. My friend Hulk-boy wants me to read this so that I will quit giving my boyfriend Batman 2 and 3 stars. Bruce Wayne is back from the dead or time travel or whatever the hell was going on, but he’s off recruiting people for his new version of an international army of crime fighters so Dick Grayson is still acting as Gotham’s Caped Crusader.

Though the Batman in the novel may not be Bruce Wayne he is still the essential icon, cape and all, characterised perfectly through the writing and the artwork.I was really what taken aback having a new Batman missed the whole storyline, but then again there are too many comics to keep up with the storyline.
